[Noisebridge-discuss] [8:00pm in Turing] Noisebridge Homepage Hacking! Web development!

[Ken M. Haggerty]

Thanks to everyone who stopped by tonight!
We (very quickly!) hacked together a *banner* and *donation button* for the
existing wiki homepage. Check it out:
http://www.noisebridge.net/

After Saturday's event we can look into doing even more with the existing
homepage.
